The Border Security Force (BSF) of India fired at smugglers from Bangladesh attempting to cross the border. This incident occurred during an infiltration attempt. The BSF successfully prevented the infiltration, marking a significant enforcement action against cross-border smuggling. This response highlights ongoing tensions at the India-Bangladesh border. Previously, such incidents often resulted in arrests rather than gunfire. The use of live ammunition indicates a shift in the BSF's approach to border security.
